Each of us has some kind of guilty pleasure. Mine? Over-indulging on ice cream. There’s no need for an explanation needed for this one—everyone loves ice cream! In fact, Americans consume 1.6 billion gallons of ice cream each year, which amounts to more than 23 pounds per person.

The total value of the ice cream industry was $62.40 billion in 2020 and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.87 percent between 2021 and 2026. This means shop owners will be scooping up even more profits in the future.

An example of an Ice Cream truck business brand.

Ice cream trucks are commercial vehicles that serve as mobile ice cream retail outlets, typically during spring and summer. Ice cream trucks can be seen parked at public events, beaches, parks, and other places where people or children gather. They frequently sell near areas where children play, such as outside schools, in residential areas, or parks.

Ice cream brings up summer memories for many Americans, like licking melting cones on a hot summer day; this frozen treat is the definition of nostalgic delight. This frozen dessert has a long and illustrious history that spans generations. So, where did ice cream come from?

The origins of ice cream can be traced back to the second century B.C., yet no exact date of inception or inventor has been definitively credited with the important discovery. Although we know that  Alexander the Great was known to adore snow and ice sweetened with honey while King Solomon from the Bible enjoyed icy drinks while harvesting.

Generations later, Marco Polo returned from the Far East with a recipe that was quite similar to sherbet. This dish is thought to have evolved into ice cream around the 16th century according to historians. England appears to have found ice cream at the same time as the Italians, if not earlier.

Though ice cream has a long history, ice cream has found a home in America where it is one of the country’s most popular treats. This nostalgic frozen dairy’s annual production in the United States is more than 6.4 billion pounds. Every year, the average American consumes about 23 pounds of ice cream and associated frozen sweets.
